Package scripts in flatpak?

I have a collection of python scripts and some external 3rd party
executables (puppet) I want to package in a portable way. I'm not sure
flatpak is the right solution for this but I wanted to ask. The options I
have thought of are

   1. Docker container
   2. Flatpak/snap/appimage
   3. Virtualenv/software collections

Each package type has pros and cons but I'd like to package this up so the
host system needs minimal requirements but the scripts still have full
access to the host. My main problems right now is trying to maintain
compatibility with different versions of python + libraries, different
versions of puppet, and different ways each packaged executable sees the
rest of the system (e.g. docker container needs to mount / in a different
location).

​Does anyone have experi​ence or documentation for packaging scripts that
need system access in flatpak? Would also appreciate if anyone has examples
I can look at or more things I should consider with the different formats.

Thank you
